than 100000 strangers in the city-veterans

uncomfortable throng they are. The clerk
OF the weather seems to have let himself oul

bunting of red, white and blue, and the dec

pour of rain which began Monday and con-
tinued without intermission all day Tuesday
gave everything a bedrzzled and Woe BECOME
appearance. The streets Tuesday were
miniature rivers, and the skies
black dome. Thousands of tents which had
been erected for the accommodation OF the
boys in blue have been rendered uninhabit-
able and the men who were to have occupied
them were wandering about without place
to lay their heads. Every hotel in town was
full to overfiowing, and the finding of places
OF refuge for the thousands, many of them
women and children, was serious affair.
Uncer such auspices as these the annual en-
campment CT the G. A. r., which was ex-
pected to be the greatest meeting since the
war, has taken decidy blue aspect
Tuesday the procession was to have taken
place, but with the rain falling in sheets, of

HOW TO DUST A ROOM.

A Household Duty Whose Thorough Per-
formance Requires Considerable Work.
The proper way to dust a room is to
cgin with the walls. Pin several thick
nesses of cloth over broom and sweep
the walls down thoroughly, leaving at
the same time all the doors and win
dows open. This matter of sweeping
the walls is important and should be
done once a week in rooms that are
much used. Then with damp cloth
wipe off the picture cords or wires, the
backs of all the picture frames and the
tops of the door and window frames.
If there is any danger of injuring pict-
ures or frames with a damp cloth use a
dry one, but wipe them all off care
fully. AS often as you can get good
draft which will carry tie dust out of
the window, shake and beat the cur
tains, whether they be Holland, lace,
scrim OF what not, for they are prime
sinners in the matter of harboring dust.
The window--sash, sill and glass
should also receive attention. Use a
large cloth, with half of it well damp
ened for busting, the dry end being
useful to wipe of small articles that
might be injured by dampness-and be
careful that you manipulate the cloth
so as to wipe the dust into it and keep
it there. If it gets dirty have clean
one, and always wash them out and
scald them after using. If there are
inside shutters to the windows they
need to be cared for almost as tenderly
as baby. A thorough cleaning every
week, carefully wiping both upper and
under sides of the Stats, is the only
thing that will keep them in decent
order. A room is not thoroughly dust
ed until all the furniture and wood
work and gas fixtures have been cleaned
with the damp buster. Upholstered
furniture should be taken out, brushed
all over and then wiped with the damp
cloth, not forgetting the under side.-
